Brilliant... but cancelled
Nov 1 2006
Format:DVD
I agree with all the reviews, if you like stale, overdone plotlines in L&A, this will be a refreshing change. Those I have hooked on the show, didn't love it untill episode 3-4. The characters don't seem to fall into their own untill then. But I would trade any show on tv for one more (complete) season.
Why the hell did they cancel this series?
July 14 2004
Format:DVD
I'm still saddened by the fact that this series is off the air! It was the best written drama and an ORIGINAL take on the "police show" formula, God knows we need one more Law and Order franchise. By showing the different angles and different points of view it get's further inside the story and further to the truth, and I guess that's why it was cancelled. It was complex enough to hold your interest, but it never got confusing.
The actors they got for the roles were perfectly cast. From Neal McDonough and his excellent vocal prowes to Donnie Wahlberg's compassionate but Joel Stevens and his tandem Mykelti Williamson with the perfect nickname "Fearless" every actor brought their own edge to the roles.
Thank you for putting the show on DVD for myself and others to enjoy and hopefully show other people why it was such a travesty that this show was cut!
One of the finest TV shows I've ever seen
July 11 2004
Format:DVD
I'm a television writer myself and I'm completely humbled by the quality and complexity of this series. If there were any justice, it would have lasted more than one season, but I'm glad that a show this wonderful got a chance to air at all. I was very happy to see the show win a well-deserved Peabody Award but it deserved several Emmy's as well. It's great that it's out on DVD now so it can be preserved and discovered by people who never got a chance to see it originally. I'm grateful to Graham Yost and his brilliant co-writers, directors, actors, and crew for work that will always be an inspiration to me.

What is wrong with NBC?
This was a great show - so intelligently written. I agree, the second season with Vanessa Williams was not as good - they should have kept with the integrity of the writting from... Read more

And instead we get crappy "Las Vegas"
What was NBC thinking? This was an amazing show, perhaps the best one-hour drama on television in decades. But stupid NBC first aired it on Sunday nights at 10 p.m. Read more

One of the best cop shows that people didn't "get"
Boomtown was unlike any cop drama out there. Boomtown was full of complex and orginal characters that remain constant through the shows run of 2 seasons. Read more

How nice. They only gave us season 1.
I remember back in the good ol' days when I could go home and watch Boomtown and actually ENJOY the subtleties and nuances of this finely written, acted, and directed show. Read more
